Why Engineers Choose The Carte d'activité I2C / SPI Total Phase TP240310
Reference Platform
Educational Tool
Baseline Validation
La carte d'activité Total Phase I2C/SPI est un outil parfait pour les développeurs de systèmes embarqués experts et novices.
Ce tableau est un excellent moyen de vérifier la cohérence pour le développeur expert. Le débogage d'un système par rapport à des périphériques esclaves fonctionnels peut aider à différencier les bogues matériels et logiciels. Le tableau d'activité est également utile pour établir une base de référence pour l'utilisation des logiciels.
Les périphériques cibles du tableau d'activité constituent également un excellent moyen pour le développeur novice d'apprendre les mécanismes des protocoles de bus I2C et SPI.
Frequently Asked Questions
Have a Question?
-
What voltages are supported?
Board is powered using the host adapter’s target power, typically 3.3V or 5V set via host software.
-
Can I daisy-chain multiple activity boards?
Yes, multiple boards can be connected, but only one should have the SS jumper in place to avoid contention.
-
What is the default address for the I2C port expander?
Default is 0x38 (binary 0111000), with jumpers to adjust as needed.
-
Can I use two Aardvark adapters simultaneously?
Yes, the board supports dual adapter mode for master/slave or monitoring configurations.
-
Is example code provided?
Yes, example scripts in C, Python, Visual Basic, and XML batch format are included.
-
Can I connect a logic analyser or protocol analyser?
Yes, pass-through pins expose all key I2C/SPI lines for connection to external monitoring equipment.
-
Does it work with other I2C host adapters?
Yes, while optimised for Total Phase adapters, it is compatible with any host supporting I2C/SPI protocols and physical header.
-
Can I change device addresses on the board?
Yes, both I2C port expander and EEPROM addresses can be modified using the provided jumper settings.
-
What devices are included on the I2C/SPI Activity Board?
The board features an I2C port expander, an I2C EEPROM, and an SPI EEPROM; all devices are real ICs and fully documented.
